Fishing for river eels is a two-and-a-half-bowl job.

River eels live in rivers and are relatively scarce in number, and they do not burrow during the day and only come out to feed at night.

River eel fishing is a process of waiting for rabbits.

First, make a bamboo skewer that is one hand long (about 20 cm), one end is flat and the other end is pointed.

Then take the thin nylon thread, the thread can be long or short, two or three meters is appropriate. One end is tied to a bamboo skewer and the other end is tied to a fish hook.

An earthworm is threaded through the hook, which is the bait for river eel fishing.

At dusk, the fishing begins, along the riverbank, bamboo sticks are inserted into the embankment, and the hooks with earthworms pierced are thrown into the river.

Put a fish, every six or seven meters or ten meters or so, and then put down another fish.

Put the fish fishing, you can go home and sleep, wait until the early morning of the second day, when the sky is not dawn, go to fish, often harvest a lot.

The worst case is that being snatched up by "peers" makes you want to cry without tears.

So you have to keep it guarded and don't let your "peers" get it for nothing.

Two and a half bowls: "Hand, I made a hundred fish fishing." As for how much I can collect in the morning, I can't guarantee it. ”

"How much can you catch. In the past two years, there have been too many pesticides, and the field water has been put into the river, and the river water is poisonous, and the lethality to the river eel is the greatest. ”

I read it in a book and said that in the freshwater river, the most vulnerable thing to life is not the river shrimp, but the river eel. Due to the residue of pesticides and fertilizers, the river water began to be polluted, and the reproduction capacity of the river eel was severely damaged.

Tong Guohua said: "Hand, you don't need it, you go back to sleep." ”

"I can't sleep. Where are Brother Shui Sheng and Brother Shui Yang? ”

"They put fishing in your sharp spout, and they said okay, after three o'clock, let me and Xiaojun go to help."

White hand said: "I see that your loaches are almost caught." The work on the shore will be handed over to Brother Siping and Brother Xiaojun, and we will help them. ”

The work of catching yellow eels and watching eel fishing was handed over to the leper head four and two and a half bowls.

White Hand and Tong Guohua walked along the river bank to the sharp spout.

Two small fishing boats stand side by side, side by side. Lu Shuiyang slept on one boat, and Lu Shuisheng smoked on the other.

A lantern hung on the pole of the boat, and the brightness was dimmed to the fullest.

The white hand shouted at the fishing boat: "Brother Shuisheng, can Brother Guohua and I get on the boat?" ”

"It's hands, why are you here? Yes, yes, you two be careful. ”

It was still summer, it was still the rainy season, and the water level was only about one and a half meters away from the river bank.

The small fishing boat was small, and Bai Shou and Tong Guohua each got on it, and they also made the small fishing boat spin several times at once.

Lu Shuiyang also woke up.

He took out a pack of 35 brand cigarettes with his white hand, opened them, and took three cigarettes. himself, Lu Shuiyang and Tong Guohua each have one, and the rest is handed to Lu Shuisheng, "Brother Shuisheng, keep it and smoke it." ”

Lu Shuisheng said thank you, took out one, and put the remaining half of the bag on the boat. After resuming, he extinguished the cigarette butt, and the cigarette butt was also rested in the cabin, "Hey, don't throw the cigarette butt into the river, it will scare the carp away." ”

Tong Guohua chuckled and said, "Brother Shuisheng, I heard that your unique skills are never seen by outsiders. If you let me get on the boat, I won't be afraid that we will learn. ”

Lu Shuisheng smiled: "That was before, but now it's different." Besides, you two, I just let you learn, and you don't bother to learn. ”

"What do you mean by that?" White Hand asked.

"Guohua, you, you drive a tractor for transportation, there is a hardware store at home, the income is high, and it is stable, how can you suffer like me. hands, let alone you. I've heard people say that I can't make the money you make in a day, but I can't earn it in a year, so how can you rob me of my job? ”

Tong Guohua said: "Okay, in that case, then Brother Shuisheng, you can tell us about your skills." ”

Lu Shuisheng said: "Catch carp, and he will do it too." ”

Lu Shuiyang said: "Actually, catching carp is the easiest. As the old saying goes, it is Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who wish to go fishing. ”

The white hand sighed, "Brother Shuiyang, you mean to say that there is no bait on the hook." ”

"Yes, you see."

As he spoke, Lu Shuiyang leaned over, reached out into the water with one arm, and picked up a nylon rope half a centimeter wide.

On the nylon rope, every half a hand's width is a large fish hook with barbs on the hook and black paint.

The white hand snorted, "It turned out to be an empty fishhook." I always thought there must be bait on the hook. ”

Lu Shuisheng said: "This is a special carp catch, if there is bait, it will be eaten by other fish." ”

Lu Shuiyang said: "The most technical thing is where the hook is, how deep it is from the bottom of the river, when the carp will appear, and so on. My brother has many years of experience, what season, what weather, what water temperature, he knows best. ”

Bai Shou smiled, "I don't want to know about these, you two brothers should keep it a secret." ”

Lu Shuiyang continued: "When the carp swims over, if it hits the hook, it is very likely to be hooked. It struggles, and the more it struggles, the more the white hook next to it sticks to it. In the average carp, if you have five hooks tied to it, it can't run away. ”

White Hand nodded and said, "I understand, you can only catch one carp at a time." If the fish is not caught in time, it will make a lot of noise and scare away the other carp. ”

Lu Shuiyang said: "So, after the whole row of fish hooks is put down, both ends must be fixed." In order to know that a carp has been hooked, a bell is hung on this head. As soon as a fish takes the bait and starts struggling, the bell will ring, and we can take the fish pocket and go fish. ”

At this moment, the bell rang, especially crisp in the night sky.

"Hooked, it's from the front." Lu Shuiyang shouted.

It's not that the bell is ringing here.

Lu Shuisheng was born in this bay with a sharp spout, and laid a total of three fish hooks.

The bell is still ringing.

Lu Shuisheng and Lu Shuiyang are two brothers paddling together.

Two small fishing boats swam together silently.

In just over a minute, the small fishing boat rowed to the first hook.

The bell was still ringing, and the bamboo pole on which the bell hung was shaking.

Unhurried, Lu Shuisheng took a bamboo pole, reached into the water, and picked up a nylon rope full of fish hooks.

Lu Shuiyang was in the bow of another small fishing boat, holding a fishing bag, ready to catch fish at any time.

The fishing bag is actually a net bag, the mouth of the bag is tied up with a wire loop, and a bamboo pole is tied to the wire loop.

The fishing pocket is a circle, with a radius of about one hand and a depth of at least three hands, which is enough to hold a large fish weighing more than ten catties.

The hand here is a special word for inland fishermen, representing the length, and the hand is about 20 centimeters.

Lu Shuisheng picked up the fishing rope and checked it one by one, and with his judgment, he suddenly shouted two words.

"Copy it."

"Hey." Lu Shuiyang replied and inserted the fishing bag into the water.

With a bang, a carp jumped onto the surface with a fishing bucket.

"Big guy." Tong Guohua shouted.

"Good fellows." Lu Shuiyang also shouted, "Ten catties, it's ten catties." ”

Lu Shuisheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Hand, I can give you an account." ”
